As for speed: boy, those new processors (an amd 3800 x2 in my case) are fast... as are their 32 bits equivalent.
Considering the 3800+ x2 (ditto here) runs at a real speed of 2GHz vs the 1.8GHz my old Athlon XPm2500+ did in stock configuation, I'd say so. Of course tweak the XPm to a real 2.5GHz (or higher) and watch it run circles around everything else in my collection. Who needs ricer flags when you have ricer hardware? ;-) -Drew -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
